John Crawfurd included in his 1827 account the notes and map made by M. Montmorency who accompanied the embassy. As Crawfurd introduced Montmorencyâs account: âThe following description of the fortifications and site of the town was carefully, drawn up by my friend M. Montmorency, and will be readily understood by a reference to the accompanying plan, laid down by the same gentleman.â Edited for the SOAS Bulletin of Burma Research by Michael W. Charney.
